I wanted to recap this year's scholarship program for the club. 

This is our first year participating in the scholarship program benefitting students at the Delaware Area Career Center (DACC) that the Sunbury Galena and the Delaware Rotary Clubs have administered for several years. Our Olentangy Club contributed $2,000 and PDG Mike & Kim Brown also contributed $1,000 to the program. There was a total of just over $20,000 to be awarded from the three clubs, along with individual and corporate donations.

Over 40 students applied and were interviewed, via Zoom, by a panel of Rotarians from the three participating clubs. These students represented various areas such as welding, carpentry, dental assisting, and digital design. Twenty scholarships were awarded ranging in value from $750 to $1500. Awards addressed a variety of needs such as tuition, carpentry tools, and welding equipment.
